Spring With the Spartans!

Today our homeschool cross country team, the Spartans, had a spring meeting. The children eagerly anticipated this day! We have all missed each seeing each other since last fall! We had several new families join us, which was super! I am looking forward to a successful and enjoyable Spartan season.This meeting was mainly an organizational one. Heather briefed us about our summer and fall practice schedules, and we chose new colors for our team uniforms......kelly green and navy. Now, I would actually prefer lime green and turquoise, but there are boys on the team!

Here a few pictures from the fun afternoon.

If you are a homeschooler and live in this area, and you are interested in your child running with the Spartans, please email me. The Spartans welcome runners and those who aspire to be runners of all abilities. Coach Heather has a training plan to slowly and safely move your child from couch potato to completing a 5K!

Being a member of the Spartan cross country team has brought great joy and created many fond memories for my children. The Spartan mothers have fun too! Most of us wear our walking/running shoes and visit, walk, and or run with the children. In fact, at our meeting today, one of the mothers jokingly said that she didn't recognize me today......I had on regular clothes and make-up and had my hair fixed!

OH! That's my girl in one of those pictures! She had a great time. It's all she talked about on the way home, and when she got home she obeyed Coach and did her crunches & sit ups...which means mom had to do them, as well... It was good to see you, as always. Have a great weekend!

YAY!!! I HAD SOOOO MUCH FUN.AND I DID RECOGNIZE YOU~HA. BUT YOU DID LOOK SOOO NICE, OF COURSE YOU ALWAYS DO, EVEN IN RUNNING CLOTHES AND NO MAKEUP! IT WAS LIKE COMING HOME WHEN I GOT THERE! I CAN'T TELL YOU ALL HOW GOOD IT DID MY HEART TO SEE EVERYONE AND HUG AND SMILE AND LAUGH!!! SO BLESSED!!!!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I have been married to my wonderful husband for 25 years. God has blessed us with 5 lovely children whose ages range from 11-22. My interests include homeschooling, running, reading, scrapbooking, cooking, planning, and organizing.

We use the Bible Study Guide for All Ages for our Bible lessons. Additionally, I read aloud from Proverbs and Psalms 1 day a week, and the children work on Bible memory daily. The children also have assigned time each day for independent Bible reading.
